Kaleberg - LOL, my worst airport nightmare was at Vancouver, but that’s a long story…I’ll just say, be very careful to check what elevator you’re getting on!
"We wasted a half hour shopping, and only allowed 15 minutes to get through Immigration, which wasn't enough, so we missed our flight." There, fixed it for you...
Pay By Phone app is useful for payment. I'm not aware of any app that allows you to reserve space in advance, and have never felt the need for such in Seattle (...
I wouldn't cut your time in Victoria, it is charming and so different from the rest of your itinerary. Vancouver is a great city, of course you could fill more...
Our guide brought us to Le Montrachet for lunch during an all-day wine tour, and we are so glad he did. It was a fabulous multi-course meal. Not something we wo...
Fortunately I reserved a table weeks in advance, after finding this place online and looking at the menu. Glad I did, it was always fully booked. It is a charm...
An elegant, historic hotel in a perfect location, just inside the town wall and walking distance to the river where cruise boats dock. We were departing on a cr...
We really enjoyed our stay in Beaune and would pick Le Cedre again, most of all for the excellent service. It was well-located just outside the ramparts, an eas...
We only had 2 nights in Paris, but I am very happy we chose to stay at Fauchon. It is a great location, very central and easy to walk to sights in every directi...
I have not been to Salerno or Naples, but loved Sorrento. I had the same thought that you did about balancing the big city energy of Rome with something differe...
Two nights in Rome means a day and a half to sightsee, barely time for two major attractions. I would give it 3, so you have time to actually enjoy Rome.
Personally, with only 2 weeks I would spend it all in Italy, and still just scratch the surface. But if you’re determined to include France, then pick just two ...
And if Naples is too much of a big city for you, consider Sorrento. It’s a lovely town on the coast. Much easier to do a day trip to Pompeii and/or Herculaneum ...
Absolutely the Crowne Plaza is a better location.
I also have anxiety about my bag being lost/delayed (and while infrequent, it has happened more than once), so I almost always travel with carryon only. I can ...
Weird. I have never been told that, and in fact the safety briefing usually says to stow larger devices (laptops) while small electronics can be held, but power...
For your four days between Paris and Avignon, I like option #1. It depends what you're looking for, but I loved Dijon's old town center, very charming and pictu...
I’ve never heard of that, but I would think any such requirements would be apparent when you are booking the car? Use a reputable national company, and call the...
I think you’re asking for suggestions for a routing from Seattle to Brisbane that includes a stop for a beach holiday somewhere? Hawaii is the most obvious answ...
This is a tiny restaurant on a tiny street, not big on atmosphere but wonderful food and service. We enjoyed the warm welcome and the simple, delicious food. On...
